The effect of daylength and temperature on the induction and termination of diapause in Aedes atropalpus (Coquillett), and field and laboratory studies of autogeny and hibernation in some mosquitoes from Manitoba

Embryonic diapause, which is determined by day-length, has been demonstrated in a multi-voltine mosquito, Aedes atropalpus (Coquillett). Experiments conducted under controlled temperature and photoperiod show that short-days, 8 hours to 14 hours light per 24 hour day, induce diapause in the autogeno...
